PHILADELPHIA, May "a Washington
special to the Press says: It is learned that
the United States steamship Alliance,
which left New York November last, I'M
der orders to join the South Atlantic
squadron at Rio Janerio by way Of the
Mediterranean and the Cape Of Good Hope,
is under orders to seize the schooner
Emma Jane il found on the high seas,
demand her if she be found in q neutral
port, and to make prisoners OF her cap
tain and crew, put proper crew on
board, and send her to the United States
with her plumber. The Alliance is also
ordered to seize, by force if necessary,
whatever belongings Of the schooner that
may be found on the Island Of Johanna.
one OF the Commero group Of
the coast of Mozambique and
Zanzibar. These orders have been issued
because the Government is informed that
the Emma Jane, after having been fitted
put in the United States as whaler, was
taken by her master to the Island of
Johanna, contrary to the orders of her
owner, and sold to DIR. Wilson, former
naval officer, but now wealthy planter
OF said island. It is charged that DR..
Wilson employed her to carry sugar, and
it is suspected has engaged her in tie
slave trade.
Nothing has been received from the
Alliance, excep that she reached the island
of Johan "a, that her captain was well re-
ceived; that DR.. Wilson assured him that
he would do all in his power to assist him
in his mission, and that the last he (Dr.
WILSON, heard Of the Emma Jane was
that she was seiz I'd at Mauritius as uDsea-
worthy some timo ago.

Report of the American Consul on lmprfs.
onment for Debt in Morocco.
WASHINGTON, May 1O-For some time
past the Department Of State has been in
quiring into allegations of grave abuses
arising in Morocco through the imprisOn-
ment of debtors by INSCRIPTIONS persons
claiming to act under the protection OF the
United States Consul The new Consul at
Tangier, Mr.. Lewis, of Pennsylvania, has
taken an active interest in the subject and
has fully informed the Department of the
hardships that have resulted to individuals
from the inhuman exercise of the power of
arrest by the native government to persons
claiming to be under the protection of the
great nations of the world. A statement
has been received from our Consul deny.
ing that he was in any way responsible for
the ignominious treatment of a Jewish
debtor during the Passover by men bearing
an American flag. The Consul says that
he has just caused the liberation of ten
persons who had been confined in the ma.
tive prisons for over year. In view OF
these facts the Department has given in
structiOns to the Consul to revoke all per-
mits or projections" now outstanding, and
to discontinue Imprisonment for debt, and
new consular code embodying this primer
pie is now in course of preparation.

Deputy Railroad Comm1osoOoer. RaAo0mn,0s
Michigan. ExplaDas the Relation OF the
Lake to the Railroad Carrying Trade sn1
Makes . Sakgesti0n.
WASHINGTON, May 10-In response to
letter from Secretary Mosely, Of tbs In
ter-State Commerce Commission asking
for information as to the necessity for
granting certain railroads in the State Of
Michigan relief from the operation OF the
fourth section Of the Interstate law, in
order that they may be able to meet water
competition at certain points, Deputy
Railroad Commissioner Ransom, Of Nichi.
gan. writes:
Heretofore there has seemed to be but
little active competition between the rail.
road companies and tho vessel interests
during the navigation season. The latter
have fixed the rates and the railroads
como to them if they obtained any OF the
traffic. Whether there has been very
much in il besides the Increased TONNAGE
to the credit Of the general freight
agents is very doubtful. The inter State
traffic from water points in Michigan Is
limited largely to forest products and salt
on the Lower Peninsula. and to forest and
mineral products in the Upper. Wherever
these products can find shipping points by
water, the vessel rates will take the larger
portion Of the business in all cases where
the railroad companies are compelled to
maintain rates based upon the 'hauls'
clause of the Inter State act I'm
der these conditions the yes.
sci rate will be just enough
lower than the rate BY rail to prevent the
companies taking any portion Of the traf-
fic, but still largely above what the rate
would be were the haul clause suspended
at lake points and the railroad
companies placed in position to
compete for share Of the traffic
successfully. 1t is evident, think. that
the companies do not intend reducing
local rates for the purpose Of enabling
them to do a through business in
competition with water competition.
II, therefore, you suspend the
operation Of the long-haul rule at lake
points, can not see how such action
would do inside local points an inju stice.
and it would certainly give the shippers
at lake competing points better
rate than they could secure were the
vessels given a practical monopoly OF
the trade by a strict application OF the
rule. In the general interest Of the peo-
pie, would saw suspend the rule during
the season Of navigation, and en-
force t while navigation ia closed.
Did the question only involve the
carriage Of frcights in transit through
our State from outside points, We should
not favor the suspension Of the rule in IA
vor Of the railroad companies, but in the
interest Of our coastwise trade we think
the IRON clad application Of the law should
be waived during the season Of naviga

WASHINGTON. May 10-General Sheri-
dan, when his attention was Chilled to
General Rosser's latest publication about
the burning of supplies and forage in the
Shenandoah valley. SAID he had no reply

fetal order issued at that time, which
reads as follows:

GENERAL: In compliance with instructions
OF the Lieutenant-General commanding. you
will make the necessary orders for the
destruction of the wheat and hay south Of
line from Wildwood to winches-
ter and Petticoat Gap. You will seize all mules,
horses and cattle that may be useful to our
army. Loyal citizens can bring in their claims
against the Government for this necessary de-
struction. No houses will be burned and officers
in charge of this delicate, but necessary
duty. must inform the people that the object is
10 make this valley untenable for the raiding
parties of the rebel army. Very respectfully,

General Sheridan says that the misplace
ment of q semicolon IN a recent published
interview makes him charge General
Rosser with the performance Of acts of
which he was innocent. Sheridan was re-
ported as saying: I'VE stripped
the enemy of every thing
he had captured; his guns, except
one," etc. Now, if you will move the
semicolon after the word captured and
pace it after the word 'haP" the.GeneraI
says. ''you will relieve General Rosser OF
the charge OF having captured guns from
us at any time when he was operating in
the vallev-at least when l was around"

peTs Arrested For Misusing the Mails.
CHICAGO, May At. S. Gardner and
wife, proprietors of the Farm Journal and
the Farm A6um, were before United States
Commissioner Perine this morning charged
with fraudulently using the mails. Gard
ner is said to have advertised that he would
send the Farm Journal tor a year, together
with a handsome book of engravings, on re-
ceipt of As cents. When one sent the 4S cents
he received aJanuary copy Of the paper, to-
gether with a book full of stock engravings,
the totalvalue being about AGENTS. He also
received circulars showing how he could
easily make an enormous salary by getting
up clubs. Every days mail used to bring
Gardner from 100 to 200 letters containing
the names of subscribers including from
two to twenty. Another feature was the
promise in the advertisement that when
the subscription list reached a certain num-
Der he would lend to any one subscriber
money at four per cent. A number of wit
nesses from all sections Of the country
were present and testified for the Govern
ment. A post-office inspector estimates
the receipts of the firm at something like

SHERMAN ON SILVER.
The Ohio Senator'S Views On the Confines
tl0n Of Silver Coinage.

Fho Ohio Senator'S Views On the Contln0sp
tl0n Of Silver Coinage.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Nr Sherman was
inquired of whether he had any new views
upon the silver question, and replied that
he had none that he had not freely COM
municated to the public, that he had in
tended to speak upon the subject In sup
port of the bill he introduced, but he found
such an adversely of opinion that he thought
it impracticable to secure the passage Of the
bill, and therefore didn't care to consume
the time Of the Senate uselessly. He said
he was firmly OF the opinion expressed by
him in the Chamber Of Commerce, in San
Francisco, in 1855, that the interests of the
producers, as well as the people Of the
whole country would be greatly benefited
through the stoppage of the coinage Of the
standard silver dollar, that the vast volume
Of these coins in the treasury and the pos
sibility Of their being at any time thrown
upon the market, had o disturbing influence
upon the commercial value Of silver. He
believed it would be much the wiser to
place in the treasury the silver bullion pur-
chased in open market, and issue coin GER
tificates based upon market value, and no
more. This would relieve bankers, and
others from the fear Of single silver
standard, and would abolish the absurdity
of the Government buying at one rate Of
the miner and coming and issuing at q
greatly inferior rate. Both silver and gold
are indispensably necessary as standards
Of money, but their market value must be
adjusted, as near as may be, from time to
time, and wherever Q substantial diver
gence of their relative value continued for
Q considerable time, change in ratio
should be made by the concurrence of COM
mercial nations. In the United States no
large amount Of silver and gold will ever
be in active circulation, and the best repre-
sentatives of these metals are the coin GER
tificates based upon the relative value Of
the two metals. Such an adjustment could
be accomplished by u simple act Of Con-
gress suspcnding the coinage Of the stand
ard dollar and providing, as now, for the
purchase of silver bullion and the issue Of
certificates for its cost. Sherman said he
would stake his reputation upon the sure
and steady advance Of silver bullion that
would be caused by such policy. Elk.
perience, now for nine years, has shown
that the tendency of the present system Of
coming the standard dollar is to depreciate
and reduce the value of silver bullion. Elk
perience is worth more than theory, how
ever plausible.

the room and by force took from Mr.. Dillon
the money and papers he he'd in his posses

the inspectors who were responsible ar
rested, the plaintlff taking the ground that

NEW YORK, May 11.-There seems to be

prices have advanced to an extraordinary
extent, but the bulls in coffee got q set
back this morning. Some of them TN.
dertOok to sell to realize their profits on
the rapid advance of the past three days,
and the bears availed themselves of the
opportunity to put out contracts for de-
cline. Other bulls attempted to sustain
values, and a scene of great excitement
prevailed. Havre was reported lower and
receipts at Rio were liberal. There has
not been as yet any serious check to con-
sumption as result Of higher prices. but
it is too soon to see what the effect Of re
cent advances in prices will be. Besides
the higher prices draw out large quantities
Of coffee from other countries, and these
will contribute to make good the deficiency
IN Brazil Thus the future of the market
becomes involved in obscurity.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
Forest Fires in Michigan Causing Great
Damage and Disasters.

Damage and Disasters.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 14.-Specials re-
ceived last night from dozen points in the
Northern Michigan peninsula and the Wis
consin counties adjacent are to the effect
that the forest fires are increasing. The
whole peninsula is enveloped in smoke and
telegraph wires are badly crippled. Near
Palms, Mich, fires are raging fearfully and
fears are entertained that the town will
be burned. Though surrounded with green
grass the farmers on the clearings will lose
every thing. A large amount of pine and
cedar is burned. Dispatches from Salt
junction say men are being driven from the
camps by the fires on the coast. The fire is
raging fiercely and there is no telling the
amount of the damage Near Newberry
the fires are dying out but the smoke is in
tolerable. Negaunee sends word that the
fires are spreading to the north
and east, entering a vast tract
If valuable pine, the damage al
ready done amounting to $4,000. Near Cas-
cade valuable strip of hard timber is now
burning. AT Baraga the smoke is getting
unbearable, and it looks as though the fires
were approaching the town. On the west
end of the old Marquette, Houghton, and
Ontonagon road the fires are subsiding but
the damage is large. Great damage has
also been done along the Northwestern
road from Memoninee north.
